I believe we determined that Jesus invented Buddha and Buddha invented VPNs. So, by extension we could say without Jesus, there would be no VPNs. Also, no corn chips.
Life is still like that, except we need our dopamine drip. People do crazy shit and post videos. So, we use TikTok, YouTube, and whatever else. They are the highlight of that 30 seconds.
I personally enjoy the Half Asleep Chris videos 9n YouTube where he buys a crazy amount of one set or a crazy number of sets and puts them all together. He has 10 rollercoaster sets and put them together as one. He has 10 castle sets and put them (along with a few thousand other related bricks) together to make a giant castle. Plus, he is quirky and fun, seemingly writes all the music on his videos, and includes his cats in most videos (or the cats include themselves).
I’m guessing they were explaining, not advocating. Most people would agree with you that there’s another option. Some people are resistant to that, unfortunately, including people I know.

I bring a satchel with me when I leave the house. I leave it in the car 99% of the time, but it has my sunglasses, sanitizer, umbrella, etc. in it. So, it’s helpful to bring along. I toss my keys in it and whatever the important thing is. If the important this is too big, I wrap the strap of the satchel around the thing or wind the strap around some part of it. I still forget things sometimes, but this has helped me significantly.
It was closing the unknowns in the narrative. The joke was supposed to offend him. How would we know that it actually offended him if he didn’t say that (or react in some way)?
